Device and method for artificial insemination
a technology of artificial insemination and stents, which is applied in the field of artificial insemination devices and methods, can solve the problems of reducing affecting the efficacy of insemination procedures, and affecting the effect of insemination, so as to prevent the leakage of semen sample, prevent leakage, and effectively secure the insemination device in place during us

Typically, artificial insemination is carried out when it is difficult or impossible for sperm to enter a patient's reproductive system during sexual intercourse.
However, a portion of the semen sample may be lost by leaking from the cervical canal into the vaginal cavity of the patient due to reflux caused by uterine contractions.
However, these devices merely attempt to blockade the upper region of the patient's vaginal cavity near the patient's cervical canal and may not effectively hold the semen sample within the cervical canal.
Thus, the use of vaginal sponges and cervical caps in artificial insemination may not be effective in preventing a reduction in the efficacy of the insemination procedure due to reflux caused by uterine contractions.
These devices may also cause patient discomfort when inserted and removed.
However, the device may sometimes become dislodged from the cervical canal during the period of time in which the device is intended to remain in place to allow insemination to occur, or a small amount of leakage may occur through the bore that extends through the device.

Embodiment Construction
[0028]In the Summary above and in this Detailed Description, and the claims below, and in the accompanying drawings, reference is made to particular features, including method steps, of the invention as claimed. In the present disclosure, many features are described as being optional, e.g. through the use of the verb “may” or the use of parentheses. For the sake of brevity and legibility, the present disclosure does not explicitly recite each and every permutation that may be obtained by choosing from the set of optional features. However, the present disclosure is to be interpreted as explicitly disclosing all such permutations. For example, a system described as having three optional features may be embodied in seven different ways, namely with just one of the three possible features, with any two of the three possible features, or with all three of the three possible features. It is to be understood that the disclosure in this specification includes all possible combinations of s...

A medical device and method for artificial insemination are provided. The medical device has a shield and an arm secured to the shield at one end and extending outwardly from the shield. The arm is inserted into the cervical canal of a patient and the shield covers the external os of the patient. By inserting the medical device into a patient's cervical canal after insemination, a physical barrier that holds a semen sample within the cervical canal and prevents leakage from the cervical canal back into the vaginal cavity is established. The device may have a bore extending through the device for a catheter to pass through. The bore has a valve to allow passage of the catheter and prevent backflow of semen. The arm may have a circumferential bulge to help keep the device in place during use.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of national stage application Ser. No. 16 / 349,159, filed under 35 U.S.C. § 371, of International Patent Application No. PCT / US2017 / 064028, filed on Nov. 30, 2017, which claims priority to International Patent Application No. PCT / US2016 / 064243, filed on Nov. 30, 2016. The entire contents of the above applications are hereby incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.FIELD[0002]A preferred implementation of the present invention refers generally to a device and method for artificial insemination.BACKGROUND[0003]Artificial insemination aims to introduce sperm into the reproductive system of a patient to promote pregnancy. Typically, artificial insemination is carried out when it is difficult or impossible for sperm to enter a patient's reproductive system during sexual intercourse. Intracervical insemination, where a semen sample is introduced into a patient's cervical canal, and intrauterine insemination, whe...
